Train Details

Route

The train stops at Warangal, Khammam, Vijayawada, Eluru, Rajahmundry, Samalkot, Tuni, Anakapalle and Duvvada.

Coaches

The rake initially had 3AC and AC Chair Car coaches; due to inconvenience in the AC Chair Car, it has been removed. Now the train runs with all 3AC coaches. When it was a non daily train, the rake was shared by Secunderabad Yesvantpur Garib Rath Express. But now it has a dedicated rake.
This train holds record for being the lengthiest Garib Rath Train in India. It has 18 AC Three Tier Coaches and 2 EOG Power Cars making a total of 20 coaches.

Loco

It is regularly hauled by a Lallaguda WAP7 locomotive with a reversal at Vijayawada.
